I have no proof. I have nothing more than my gut instinct, but my gut has been correct more than I care to count...

GEN McChrystal allowed the Rolling Stone report to occur. He set in motion the events that allowed that report to be published. And he did it because Obama is a fucking idiot, and has put even more brainless fucking idiots into Afghanistan, and McChrystal can't win so long as Obama is keeping those fucking idiots in place.

Look, McChrystal knows all about OPSEC, or Operational Security for you civilians out there. For the love of Pete, he ran the SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND. The man wears the "Tower of Power" on his left arm, and that's not just baubles they hand out for showing up. So how could he do something so stupid as to allow a Rolling Stone reporter access to his staff and have unedited comments given?

Answer: It wasn't a mistake. It was done on purpose. I'm willing to bet that McChrystal weighed the consequences of his actions, and he chose to let events unfold as they did. Because to follow Obama's so-called "leadership" in Afghanistan means letting more Americans die needlessly. And the only way to change course was to embarrass Obama publicly. Like with an article in a widely read international publication.

I don't know if I agree with Michael Yon about GEN McChrystal, and if I had to bet my paycheck, I would say that this was a deliberate act. You don't get to be the commander in Afghanistan by allowing stupid, easily preventable accidents such as this one. Since Obama doesn't feel the need to communicate with his military commanders, this was a pyrrhic act by McChrystal to change the course of Afghanistan.

Got writer's block, if you will. But to be honest, if you look at most of my posts you'll see that I blog in the morning. Normally I get up, I check the news, I comment, I go to work.

This morning I woke to my alarm, hit snooze, and cuddled with my wife for the rest of the morning. Soooo...... given that I don't have much time to blog at night, sorry folks but this is all you're getting. Just enough to let me know that I'm alive.

Although I have found some old photos, some of which remind me that people used to do some really dumb crap. And that humor hasn't changed much over the years, it's just been done with different props. And.... hey, is that Godzilla?
